EVE MARK — VMS 5.2

 MARK

 Puts an invisible mark at the current position.  Later, using the GO TO
 command, you can return to the marked location.  This makes it easier to
 move through a large file or buffer or between buffers.

 Example:

    The following commands mark the current position as CHAP ONE (canceling
    a previous marker with that name, if any), and later return to that
    position:

       MARK chap one
       GO TO chap one

 o  Marker names can be one or more characters, including spaces and tabs.
    The names are not case-sensitive (you can use uppercase, lowercase, or
    mixed case).

 o  To check names of markers in the buffer, use the SHOW command.

 o  Markers are not saved when you end the editing session.
